Popis: Aortic remodeling after dissection is poorly understood and remains a focus of current research. In the present report, we have described the cases of two patients with acute lower extremity ischemia related to malperfusion from aortic dissection treated with extra-anatomic axillobifemoral bypass. During long-term follow-up, aortic remodeling led to reinstitution of flow through the native aorta. This resulted in competitive flow, leading to complete thrombosis of the extra-anatomic conduits. These cases highlight the occurrence of spontaneous aortic recanalization and subsequent competitive flow, two vascular phenomena that are not well understood but can significantly affect patient outcomes.
